02Strategic insight

Strategic insight · AI analysis
Ensure a very strong scientific substantiation of the expertise, as the quality criteria (SG1 to SG7) cover the vast majority of the total points (900 out of 1000). Focus the evidence on concrete cases and specific methodologies, as requested for forensic analysis and software quality assessment. Take into account the strict quality threshold of 60%; a low score on the substantive criteria leads directly to exclusion, regardless of the price.
